Abstract

Africa has been identified as the most vulnerable part of the developing world to
climate change impact (CCI) with Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regarded as the
most vulnerable part of the continent. Women are the most active gender in the
agricultural, health and environment sectors in SSA, and these sectors are
expected to be most affected by CCI, with negative implications for attainment
of sustainable development (SD). The study examined the role of women in
adaptation and mitigation of climate change across SSA as well as attainment of
SD in the region. It relied entirely on secondary data and narrative analysis was
applied to the data. As a result of expected CCI, SSA faces the danger of not
attaining the SDGs by 2030, except the right policies and mechanisms are put in
place. Establishment of a new power structure across SSA that recognizes gender
equality in all processes of formulation and implementation of public policies is
recommended for achievement of SD.
